I have attached some photos of the company in an optimized PowerPoint so that it does not take up all of your e-mail space. The first photo consists of only half of the company. We have a few platoons that live around Fallujah and Ramadi so it is difficult to get everyone in the same area for a photo shoot. I speak to the Platoon Commanders on a daily basis and I go out to their positions every three or four weeks to bring them the boxes that you send. In fact, I have to go visit our 2nd Platoon in a few days to deliver the packages I just received yesterday. The second photo is from a demolitions range we conducted during a sandstorm (notice the red background). The third photo is what 50 lbs of C-4 look like upon detonation. We don't do a lot of demolitions anymore as we focus more on rebuilding, but we practice and stay current in our primary duties...and it is a lot of fun. Combat engineers are very comfortable around demolition such as C-4, dynamite and TNT. It makes for a great day when we can go out and have a little fun with demolitions. The fourth photo is from a project where we increased some of the force protection where the infantry live. The infantry love seeing us because every time we show up on their front door we build something new for them. Below I have added a letter from Major General John Kelly, the Commanding General of the I Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward). He wrote the letter to his wife back in early February for distribution to all of the families of Marines serving in the Anbar region of Iraq. I figured I could send it to you too since you have adopted our company into your family. I hope you enjoy the letter and the cartoon I added at the end. Thanks again for all of your support and I will send another update soon. 1stLt Justin D. Hunter XO, Company C, 2d CEB RCT-1 Combat Engineers
